Pack lightweight, breathable, neutral-colored clothing (khaki, beige, tan) to blend into the environment. Include long-sleeved shirts and trousers for protection against insects, a warm fleece for chilly early morning game drives, and a wide-brimmed hat. Note: Plastic bags are strictly banned in Tanzania and can lead to heavy fines please ensure all your gear is packed in non-plastic alternatives.

Tanzania is generally a safe and welcoming destination. As with any travel, standard precautions apply: keep valuables secure, avoid walking alone at night in urban centers, and trust the guidance of your professional safari guide while in the bush.

The Big Five lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino are the stars of the Tanzanian bush. Our itineraries are designed to maximize your chances of spotting these incredible animals in their natural habitats, particularly in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
